Confusion

Most of my internet reading is done via Net News Wire, a RSS reader for the Mac. I keep things relatively simple - it just grabs the relevant text and pictures from whichever feed I'm browsing and doesn't apply any styles. Just black text on a white background.

With the exception of the favicon, so I know which site the article I'm looking at came from.

Yesterday I started reading an article called 'Better Than Free' on the official Squarespace blog. I didn't realise that at first. Because this is the favicon for Squarespace:



It, not co-incidentally, happens to be the same favicon as the one for Leo's blog. Which meant that for a few seconds, I wondered why on earth Leo was blogging about the 'eight things that are better than free'.

25 square pixels was all it took to utterly confuse me. That's how weird the internet is nowadays.

This is a round-a-bout way of me admitting that I should change the favicon for this site, since it is no longer up to date. Yeah, I'll get right on that.
